This week Upper Canada YFC will be in training with a church in Brockville to do a week long day camp. Centennial Road Church and Upper Canada YFC are looking at reproducing this camp for rural area's in the Upper Canada region as short term Summer mission projects. It is often difficult to pull the resources and volunteers to run a summer VBS or Christ based youth camp in rural area's. This pre-packaged camp will allow youth to enjoy "My Summer Rocks" in a local setting while allowing rural churches to build relationships with families and their children.
I (Johanna) have never been to a day camp that is as well run, with the value of activities and the clear message that is spoken about our Lord Jesus. If you know Pastor Desirae, you will know that she only runs activities that are done above and beyond anyone's expectation. We feel so blessed to have this opportunity with Centennial Road Church.
Please pray this week for the "My Summer Rocks" camp at C-Road, there are 170 campers registered!!! Pray for the Camp director, Pastor Desirae, her family and all of the people volunteering. Pray for the youth as there are a good percentage that have never heard the wonderful news of Salvation before. Pray lives will be changed and that God is known and graces us with his complete pleasure this week.
I would also ask that You pray for Seaway Christian church in Prescott as they run their half day VBS this week as well. Churches pouring into the next generation is so important. Please pray these camps are a stepping stone for families and their children to participate in their local church community. Excited to join God where He is already at work in peoples lives this week!
Please check out Upper Canada's Face Book page to see
ongoing pictures from both camps this week!
Thank you so much for your prayer covering! |
